I know when I was at Indiana University, there were three tuition rates. Lowest was for Indiana residents. The state government subsidized our tuition, so that it was less than half what non-Indiana residents paid. This low rate was for both US Citizens and permanent resident immigrants who lived in Indiana. American citizens or immigrants who did not live in Indiana paid the 'out of state' rate. Foreign students who were in the US just to go to school paid the highest tuition of all. I think they did that simply because they knew most foreign students came from wealthy families and could afford the high price! If New York's universities gave free tuition, it was probably only for New York residents. Out of state and international students were probably not given the free tuition, and were likely charged a lot more than NY residents would have paid if it wasn't free for them. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 7/25/14 12:45 AM, "Nathan Wajsman" <photo at frozenlight.eu> wrote: >That's news to me--I attended SUNY Buffalo in 1979-80 (undergraduate) and >1983-84 (graduate), and it most certainly was not free. > >Cheers, >Nathan > >On 25 Jul 2014, at 04:00, Larry Zeitlin via LUG <lug at leica-users.org> >wrote: > >> Up until recently both the City and State University systems, with a >>total of nearly half a million students, were free. > >Nathan Wajsman >Alicante, Spain >http://www.frozenlight.eu >http://www.greatpix.eu > >Books: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/search?search=wajsman&x=0&y=0 >PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws >Image licensing: http://www.alamy.com/search-results.asp?qt=wajsman >Blog: >http://www.nathansmusings.eu/ > > > > > >_______________________________________________ >Leica Users Group. >See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
